Things I Wonder, Photo Dump, and My Take On Mothers Day.

Hi loves!

Who's excited that it's Friday?!

hand raised.

Besides the fact that I'm constantly wondering how McD's makes their sugar-free vanilla iced coffee so damn good, here are some other things I'm wondering lately.

Feel free to join in on the fun, and share things that you wonder!

...why do Subway employees only put a few pieces of spinach on a VEGGIE sub? Do they think I want to just eat the bread? I said MORE. More veggies too while you're at it.

...what do I find so entertaining about the show Tardy for the Wedding and why do I continue watching repeats?

...why can't I just drop everything for 2 months, go travel, and send the bill to Obama?


...why do the neighbors cut their lawn immediately after Billy cuts ours? Is this some type of yard competition? (if so, we're winning.)

...why is this the wallpaper on my iPhone?

Because I am so amazing. Obviously.

If you want to be amazing too-download app "Paper'd" to get yours. ;)

...why are shopping malls only until 5 or 6pm on Sunday's? this should change.

....why do people feel the need to brag about talking trash about others? That does not make you look cool, or get you more friends.

...is Jess going to get her 3rd speeding ticket on the way to Ohio in a few weeks? Will Erica think me and Billy are whack-a-doos? Why is Steph so pretty? She makes me look bad.

T-minus 12 days!!!!!!!

...why do so many truck drivers honk when cute girls pass them on the highway? Do they think they are going to get some by honking? Just why. (See also: construction workers hootin' and hollering' when girls walk by.)

...why is Taco Bell so good late night?

...why must I pay taxes? Le sigh.

...what would happen if I told Billy I'm not doing a load of laundry for at least 5 more years? I'm fed up with it.

...why do people clip their nails in public places?! That noise drives me insaneee!


...why do people drive under the speed limit (meaning 5 and more)?

Do you wonder any of the same things?! 

Moving on...

As you know, Sunday is Mothers day. Not one of the best days for me. Last year, I asked all of you to please hug/appreciate/celebrate your Mom's a little bit more, for me. This year I ask the same thing...cherish them, celebrate them, enjoy your time with them, be grateful for them. This month and next month, during the anniversary of my Mom's passing, are typically the hardest for me. Every year it just hits me like a ton of bricks. On Sunday, I will say a little prayer that my Mom knows just how much I love her. For those of you who have lost your mother too, I will pray for your strength as well.

I have to note that the past couple days I've had two butterflies hanging out on our deck. I've mentioned it before, but my Mom's 'thing' was butterflies. We planted a butterfly bush at her grave. Is it a sign she's here with me this Mothers day? I'd like to hope so.

...to my stepmom Judy:

I'm so thankful to have you in my life. I'm grateful for your relationship and am so happy with how far we've come. Thank you for everything you've done for me.

...and to my MIL:

thank you for welcoming me so wonderfully into the family and for always making me feel at home!

You are awesome :)

Lastly, just a mini Friday photo dump via Instagram.

4. Mail from Steph...wonder what it could be??

(see how she calls me her last name now? Hilarious.)

Have a fantastic weekend, ya'll!

No, really. I mean it.
